	==~~Results of~~ Harm==		==Tracking Harm==
	As a Character takes Harm, it's type is written down with a brief description of that Harm in the proper Harm slot on the Character Sheet. Harm should always have a narrative element to it, such as 'Serious Physical Harm - stabbed in arm by a goblin' instead of just "Serious Physical Harm".		As a Character takes Harm, it's type is written down with a brief description of that Harm in the proper Harm slot on the Character Sheet.

	~~There are two slots for~~ Minor Harm, ~~two~~ slots ~~for Serious~~ Harm, and ~~one spot for Heroic~~ Harm.		===Harm 'Stacks'===

			So a Character can take a Minor Physical Harm, and then take a Minor Mental Harm, and that would fill both Minor Harm slots. Any more Minor Harm they take of any kind will now 'stack' and be bumped up to a Serious Harm instead.

	Harm ~~'Stacks'~~.		Harms of the same Type also stacks. A Character can only have one Harm of a given type at each level of Harm.

So if they already have a Minor Physical Harm, and gain another Minor Physical Harm, that second Minor Physical Harm 'stacks' and is now bumped up to being a Serious Harm instead. A Character can't have two Harms of the same Type at the same level unless they have a special Talent that allows it.

There are two slots for Minor Harm, two slots for Serious Harm, and one spot for Heroic Harm.

	When a Character has taken all the Harm they can take, they gain a Mark. This is some sort of permanent visual, mental, or spiritual 'mark' that will forever change that Character in noticeable ways. Physical Marks are things like prominent facial scars, a limp, or missing teeth / fingers. Mental Marks are things like irrational fears, a new phobia, or a serious delusion of some kind. Spiritual Marks are things like losing part of one's soul, becoming less empathetic, or a minor cursed magical effect like having no shadow anymore. Whatever it is, it has to be something that will be noticed about the Character and will thus impact the Story in some way.		When a Character has taken all the Harm they can take, they gain a Mark. This immediately removes the Character from the current Encounter. A Mark is some sort of permanent visual, mental, or spiritual 'mark' that will forever change that Character in noticeable ways.

			Physical Marks are things like prominent facial scars, a limp, or missing teeth / fingers. Mental Marks are things like irrational fears, a new phobia, or a serious delusion of some kind. Spiritual Marks are things like losing part of one's soul, becoming less empathetic, or a minor cursed magical effect like having no shadow anymore. Whatever it is, it has to be something that will be noticed about the Character and will thus impact the Story in some way. Write it down in the Marks section of the Character Sheet.

			Once a Character takes their third Mark, they are Defeated. See the Defeated section below.

			Marks also grant a boon, a new Talent that the Character gains due to their life-changing experience. Pick or randomly roll for one from the list below or make up your own. Like a Background, a Mark comes with both downsides and upsides.

			==Mark List==
			# Pain is the best Teacher - Whatever caused the Harm, you now have a deeper understanding of it, and will be Lucky in the future when dealing with that specific thing again.
			# I can make use of This - Your Mark will make you Lucky in a specific situation you define. For example, a Physical Mark of 'Facial Scars' could make your Character Lucky when trying to be intimidating. Or your Spiritual Mark will make you Lucky when dealing with the dead.
			# Toughen Up - Whatever caused the Harm, you now are toughened against it, and your future Saves against the exact same types of Harm are Lucky.
			# What Doesn't Kill You - You've had to get tougher while healing from the Mark, and now have a +2 to an single Attribute of the same type as the Harm that caused the Mark.
			# Heightened Senses - You've had to adapt after getting the Mark, and now have a +2 to a single Attribute of a different type as the Harm that caused the Mark.
			# Resistance - Next time you would take a very similar Harm as the one that caused the Mark, you can spend two Fortune to avoid getting the Harm altogether.
			# Secret Club - Your Mark gains you entrance to a Force within the Story. New or not, you are now considered a member of this Force, and it will be friendly to you.
			# Uncanny Senses - When you or anyone in the party is at risk of taking a similar Harm to what caused the Mark, you can have a Lucky Break for no Fortune. This can be used to act before the Harm would happen.

	~~A Player can choose to take~~ a Mark to automatically Clear any Roll that the GM has called for. They can't use this to make the impossible happen, if the GM says something can't happen or hasn't called for a Roll it can't just happen. But if there is a chance it could happen and the GM has called for a Roll as such, then a Player can say that they are going to take a Mark, narrate what their Character is doing that makes the Roll a success, and get a Clear result, no matter how high they might have had to Roll to do so.		===Take a Mark to Auto-succeed===
